quote:

Harbinger will be available from Zana as a league option in the future, though not in 3.1.0.

The Orb of Annulment provides great risk to high end crafting, but also the potential for great results while adding a new wrinkle in the path to great items. [...] We will add this as a currency drop in the core game.

The new Currency Shards will not be added to the core game. The Currency Tab slots for Harbinger items: Orbs of Annulment, Annulment Shards, Chaos Shards, Regal Shards, Exalted Shards and Mirror Shards, will be left as they currently are. We may in the future make them invisible if you don't have any items of that type in the tab.

None of the unique items from Harbinger will be added to the core game, and will only be available when the league is available from Zana. The Flow Untethered and The Tempest's Binding did have features that were popular with players, and you may see the key features of these items appear in another way in 3.1.0.

Unique items from Harbinger have not been identified as needing any rebalancing. We will adjust the relative chances of unique shards to keep the items accessible when the Harbinger League is available from Zana.

Viewbotting? Does Twitch really give people money for pure views? How easy is it to catch people doing that?

Viewbotting will push you up in the ranking, since channels are sorted by number of viewers. Meaning you'll then get real people willing to check you out if you've got 300+ people watching instead of 3.

To be banned for it, you pretty much have to admit to doing it like this guy did (showed the control panel on stream). Since it's possible someone else could be using viewbots to try and get you banned, etc.

Viewbotting is to push your channel higher up on the twitch page for that game, which results in more actual viewers. Twitch has gotten good at not paying out ad revenue for viewbots but it can be very hard to actually detect them, it's a constant battle. Most of them get banned because they accidentally reveal it, like Blasting cap did.

Awesome!

its so you appear at the top of the channel list and get more viewers that way. also when deciding if they want to partner you (give you a sub button) twitch will check how many viewers you get on average.

I am liking most of what GGG is doing with Harbinger additions going forward, but as someone who was planning on doing only ssf next league, I am a little disappointed in the Orbs of Binding not staying in. It only really matters for the first character though.

Edit - on second thought, without Harbingers being so plentiful I probably wouldn't have that many Orbs of Binding anyway

Because they run it. They are currently relying on a 3rd party to make their game playable.

You also have a surprisingly large number of players that are unaware of the 3rd party trade sites and get scammed in trade chat. They can't really link to a 3rd party site in the client (they could but it's a bad idea). They can easily link to this in game, or even open it in an in game in a window which makes it far easier for the average person to use.

They're giving us some new features that people have been clamoring for on poe.trade

quote:

We have also augmented our Online API to take into account AFK players and those in DND mode

quote:

  • Search through item listings from the Public Stash API as well as linked items in trade threads from the forum [ed: maybe this one isn't new?].
  • An extensive set of filters to find that perfect item.
  • Automatic support for new mods and unique items as they are found in leagues.
  • Live-searches that notify you of matching items as they are listed by other players.
  • A trade-specific blacklist to hide item listings from abusive players.
  • Available in all the languages Path of Exile supports (English, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Thai, German, French and Spanish).

What build is that? Like in what world do you live where there's a build that can't low level map? My last build of the league was using decay effects it didn't work very well but hey that's the risk I took.

You're right it is an improvement especially when compared to trade chat. It's so disappointing though, why the hell did it take so long.

It even seems to let you search for stacked decks easily. Wonder how slow the live search is... that seems like the only reason you might want to run something else.

No, but the extra features (like the afk/dnd notifications) are apparently available in the api so other sites can use them too.

I'd love them to eventually integrate something like this into the game proper but a dedicated site has its place.

A site can be better sometimes, there is a reason many MMOs are now allowing you to view and even use their AH from the web. Maybe I don't want to leave the game running but if something I really want is posted that I have set to auto alert I'll log in. If I am logged in the game people can message me to buy my crap. If I want to just watch TV that's going to interrupt me. I have a bookmark folder with upgrades that right now are very specific and nothing is listed. I just middle click the folder it opens all the live searches and tells me if something is posted. Easy.

Sure you could replicate that feature with saved searched in game, but then you are in game.

No love for your made-up things.
The main reasons for this are visibility and accessibility for all players. They are supporting this in every language they support the game in.

If you can't see why this is a huge deal then you're an imbecile or a very new player.

This also removes the ability for the guys behind poe.trade to run their custom filters on live searches before anyone else can get access to it.
